The Full Story- The Rebrand Journey
Salam recently relocated to the UK after garnering 10 years of experience in the Nigerian Public sector as a Relationship and Revenue Manager. He assessed his skills and career path and decided on a need for a transition to tech.
He enrolled on a practical-based Bootcamp to train to be a Business Analyst. This Bootcamp allowed him to also work on a Live project to gain experience and reference; while demonstrating skills at interviews.
Despite enrolling in practical-based training and mapping out a career plan, he needed help to convince employers to take a chance on him over candidates with more experience. He began to doubt his decision and became burdened with several questions. “What if I am not good enough?” Have I made the right choice?”
To add to his “troubles”, job searching became a pain, as rejections kept piling up in his inbox. Living in the Uk, with little to no job prospects, wasn’t the life he had envisioned. And with the looming recession and increasing inflation, Salam knew he had to act fast.
How Did His Story Change?
Just before he threw in the towel, he decided to hunt for the service of Careers experts who could help in telling the story of his career journey, achievements and skills better on his CV to attract recruiters. This is how Rky Careers came into play.
“I learned about Rky careers through a friend,” he said. She had attended one of their Career Workshops on the tech career pivot session and was hooked. At that time, I was still figuring things out on my own. But, after scrolling through their Instagram page and reading a lot of Client’s success stories of how they have helped candidates going through a career transition like me, I told myself, “I believe Rky careers is the missing piece to achieving my career objective and landing my dream Job,” he says.
Solution: Transforming his Career Brand for Easy Visibility to Recruiters
When Salam engaged our Combo Rebrand service, he had three requests. “I need a high-impact CV and LinkedIn page.”, “I also want to be seen as an achiever, not a doer,” “And I also want my transferable skills from my previous experience to be well highlighted,” he said. It was an explicit and expected request.
This is not a strange or difficult task for RKY Careers to achieve as we are experts at supporting Career changers and people going through a career transition in optimising their CV for the new target role and the desired target country, in this case, the United Kingdom.
And this, we delivered! Salem got a revitalised and optimised CV and Linkedin, which recruiters could not say no to, and he quickly became a headhunter’s favourite. He also uploaded his Cv on job boards like Indeed, Reed, Total Jobs, and CV library, where recruiters who loved his CV also reached out to him.
Results: Getting a Five-Figure Salary Role as a Senior Analyst in a top UK Tech Firm
After delivering Salam’s Optimised CV & Linkedin, His job search experience improved tremendously through instant visibility to recruiters on Linkedin and Job Boards, giving him a competitive edge and access to the UK’s hidden job market.
With Rky Careers Rebranding service, Salam finally eliminated all doubts and fears. His new CV and LinkedIn made it possible to secure 4 interviews within two weeks. After that, more recruiters started reaching out, encouraging him to go harder.
He had a series of interviews lined up for the related roles his Cv and Linkedin were optimised for, and he landed a Senior Solutions Analyst role in no time. He is still getting Hits from recruiters to date as they cannot say no to his brand, and this gives him the confidence that should he need to change jobs or should his career needs or preference change, he would not have a problem switching jobs or landing another job of his choice.
